March 15, 2017

Bloomberg BNA Product Safety & Liability Reporter

Paul M. Laurenza, a member of Dykema’s Government Policy Practice Group and Managing Member for the firm’s Washington, D.C., office, authored the article “Liability Issues for Manufacturers of Personal Electric Vehicles” for Bloomberg BNA’s Product Safety & Liability Reporter.

In the article, Laurenza points out that the design and performance attributes and capabilities of personal electric vehicles, or e-rideables, as well as their electrical componentry and power sources, raise a number of potential concerns in the context of government product safety enforcement and product liability. Laurenza encourages manufacturers and importers of these products to carefully review and factor safety considerations into the design, manufacture, testing, advertising and marketing, and shipping of the product.
